Conversely, a high K/9 rate doesn't guarantee success :<BR/><BR/>Nomo : ~8.74 K/9 98 ERA+<BR/>Burnett : ~8.35 K/9 111 ERA+<BR/>Wang : ~4.01 K/9 117 ERA+<BR/>Lyons : 2.32 K/9 118 ERA+<BR/><BR/>The K/9 for Wang, Nomo, and Burnett are by my rough calculation, not official stats. The final comparison there is Ted Lyons, the White Sox Hall of Famer with 286 RSAA.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8486845381946251843.post-14668288037011521912008-12-29T19:32:00.001+11:002008-12-29T19:32:00.001+11:00Not "sell".

However, I don't understand what the main focus of your blog. Are you guys Phillies fans? Do you write about minor league? What do you try to sell about Wang going to Scranton(Yankees' AAA team)?Jessica Leehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01763469077445655085noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8486845381946251843.post-89766411684738481572008-12-29T19:24:00.000+11:002008-12-29T19:24:00.000+11:00When I wrote the post, I had a feeling about Adam ...When I wrote the post, I had a feeling about Adam Dunn's argument as well. This is pretty interesting.<BR/><BR/>That's why I don't get too upset about this because I know most Yankees fans know the value of Wang.

I know groundouts don't get you on SportsCenter, but a strikeout still counts as one, yes, ONE out and a minimum of three pitches.<BR/><BR/>This is almost like the reverse of the Adam Dunn argument. Just as you can be an excellent hitter while striking out a lot, you can be an excellent pitcher without a lot of strikeouts. The bottom line is how many outs you get per run surrendered and Wang gets more than Burnett and most everybody else.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
